1. Connective tissue contraction in wound healing : An experimental study in vivo and in vitro
Abstract : Contraction of connective tissue is an important part of tissue repair that reduces the wound space and helps to decrease the formation of scar tissue, both of which are needed to restore tissue integrity. In the present study, certain cellular mechanisms that are active during connective tissue contraction were assessed and the influence of transforming growth factor-. READ MORE

2. Conctraction-mediating receptors in human peripheral vessels with special reference to veins and lymphatics
Abstract : By means of a myograph, postjunctional alpha-adrenoceptors were characterized in human superficial epigastric arteries and veins obtained from health subjects. The rank order of potency of subtype selective agonists could not be used for receptor characterization in these vessels, whereas antagonists gave distinct results. READ MORE

3. Studies of Eosinophil Cationic Protein (ECP) in vivo and in vitro : Impact of Genetic and Posttranslational Modifications
Abstract : Eosinophil granulocytes are tissue dwelling leukocytes that are implicated in host defence, particularly against helminthic parasites; they also participate in most inflammatory disorders. Although eosinophils have important roles in host defence mechanisms, their actions can also be harmful to the host as in the allergic inflammation where lung epithelium is destructed due to the release of toxic granule proteins.

4. Actomyosin in biocomputation
Abstract : There exist complex mathematical problems that are important in real world applications such as weather prediction, molecular modelling, network route optimization and more. In general, such problems are solved using supercomputers with higher computing efficiency but this also consumes high energy along with high production and maintenance cost. READ MORE

5. On the autonomic control of the lower urinary tract. Functional and morphological aspects in the normal and the inflamed urinary bladder
Abstract : The regulation of urinary bladder function involves interplay of signalling systems. Disturbances in any of the interactive systems may result in lower tract dysfunction, which is often apparent to the patient by urge to void or by incontinence, irrespectively of the cause to the lower tract syndrome.
